An illegal immigrant is believed to be back in Honduras after jumping bail on a motor vehicle homicide charge in Nebraska.

William La Jeunesse reported the latest this morning on the case of Edwin Mejia, which has sparked national outrage because federal authorities refused to issue a detainer so police could keep him in custody.

Police in Omaha say Mejia was drunk and street racing on January 31 when he slammed his pickup into the back of a stopped SUV, killing 21-year-old Sarah Root.
